M. Redon, 1942 Calliope Hummingbird E. Fork Sheep Creek, 5,500 ft., Kings Canyon Eden Grove, 4,600 ft., S. Fork Kings R., Fresno Co., Calif. May 29, 1942 at 3:50 p.m. on our way down from Lookout Peak, all six of us stopped in on the Calliope Hummingbird. She flew off at our approach, then, after a few minutes, returned to the nest again. However, we all sat; a subsequent movement of one of us, resulted in her leaving the nest again. We all sat down along the trail; she returned to the nest. She sat facing us, the five girls, (S.E.) and Mr. Ellison was about 15 ft. up the trail. He arose very quietly & moved a foot or so closer to the nest; she apparently did not notice this; must have been watching us rather than him. They left me alone here at 4:06; she was already off the nest when they left & did not return for five minutes after that. On her return, at about 4:10, she put quietly on the nest, not feeding the nestlings. The quick side to side head movements followed for a few seconds. Then she sat fairly quietly, although occasionally cocking her head to one side, &.
